I don’t believe the F-35 can do what the A-10 can do. Those are two different planes with two different purposes.

The A-10 carries 1150 bullets for its GAU-8 30mm gun. The F-35 carries just over 180 bullets. What weapons will the F-35 use for CAS when there are bad guys "just across the road" from our guys?

I see the F-35 has a 25 mm cannon. I figured it had a 20 mm like the F-16
